Les croix de bois (1932) Matte paintings and miniatures

 Director: Raymond Bernard

Cinematography: Jules Kruger/ René Ribault

 Art Direction: Jean Perrier

Matte painting: Unknown, but probably art director Jean Perrier.


 According to Leon Barsacq´s book ” A history of film design” When Percy Day leave France to return to    England around 1932, some art directors like Jean Perrier begun to execute their own glass paintings for  their films. There is a chance that Percy Day made these paintings before moving to U.K., but most  probably it was done a Jean Perrier or some other French artist.





The soldier´s hat disappears behind the painting during some frames.

  That dawn on the battlefield looks like a miniature tabletop with a painted backing.
